We made the trimesters pass quickly!

London could just need burped Pinky. Riya makes faces at me when she has gas that needs to come up. What did the LC say? Glad it was all worth it to have her visit.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I usually get Hubby to get him out so I can finish getting a wash etc.

Beckii mine looks the same. Maybe get your MW to look?

Pink I'm really not sure, wind? Silent reflux? Id maybe ring your LC again and mention it.

Thats great UB, London needs to catch up. He only weighed 6lbs 6oz yesterday.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

He's definitely gassy and it's usually a lot more in the evenings. I'm starting to think its because of the bottles. When were home while dh is working, I only nurse him. He hardly ever has gas issues. When he's fussy and I know he's been fed, it's gas or he needs a poo and he's having a hard time trying to get it out.

Beckii I haven't looked that closely but I had a clitoral tear so I'm too scared!

Pink I don't really know, could the bottle be confusing him? He may be realising that he doesn't have to work as hard to get milk from a bottle. I'd stop bottles completely for the time being and keep offering breast. Even if you have to go and lie in a quiet room to have skin to skin while you feed xx

Pink I agree with Carly. I would only offer the breast.

I can't see where my little tear was but I got dh to look and he said its healed up.
I thought my bleeding had stopped as I had nothing since Thursday night but its started again today. I can't remember how long I bled for with the girls.

Beckii thats a lot of blood to lose!!

I've not had a bath with Frazer yet. He was in the shower with dh this morning and loved it xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

I bled for 5 weeks after I had Riya.

I'm still bleeding 15 days later, can't wait for it to stop. Been too scared to look at my stitches but feel completely normals down there now.

If you do decide to only offer breast pink I hope it works.

Twice today Henry has been crying with DH and then stops the moment he gets put in my arms, I feel a bit bad for DH but love my mummy's boy!

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

We mostly do breast but when I'm really tired in the evenings I have DH give him a bottle. The LC actually recommended it to DH so that I could get at least 5 hours of rest.
I just managed to get him to have a big burp, it was very loud. Poor baby was even having a hard time sleeping on my chest because he was so bloated. He's still not having any large poos but I hope he's able to soon. We want to give him a bath but I don't want him to poo in there.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

How are you doing Amy?
Any news about Rohan, how's he doing?

 

[ab75]

I've not heard from Tara for a couple of days. I'll update as soon as I hear anything.
Xx

 

[ab75]

Tara has updated her journal xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Have you tried doing a cycle mission with his legs pink? Also a nice warm bath usually helps them have a poo. Hope he feels better soon.

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Yes I have BB, I think that's what helped him have that big burp. I'm going to try the bath tonight and hope it helps him sleep better tonight. Me and Dh are are fighting right now because he thinks baby is being spoiled by being held all day while asleep. He only holds him for a while and when London falls asleep on him, he puts him in his bed. The when he cries 5 mins later, dh gets mad and says he's ruined. I'm not going to let my baby cry because he wants to be cuddled . I don't see his problem, I'm the one here with the baby all day and I'm nursing him. It's not like he's the one losing sleep. I could care less, London has the biggest smiles when he's sleeping on his mama, and I know I only have 4 more weeks at home with him and I will miss his chest sleeping. I'm so sick of Dh, he's been such a jackass. I feel like smacking him .

 

[brunettebimbo]

Ignore him. I don't believe that you can spoil a baby. They need their Mummy's. 9 months in our tummies then out into this big open space it's only natural for them to seek comfor from us.

It's this horrible lochia stuff that's annoying me. I find its minimal until I breastfeed then I get gushes?

A-J has been asleep all day and tonight shes woken at every hour. I wouldn't mind but I haven't had any sleep. Breastfeeding really takes it out of you. The pains are awful!

I had a tear on my clitorus too Carly but I cant even see where x

 

[Carlyp1990]

That's completely normal to have gushed when bf beckii. I found the after pains when feeding horrendous, I sat and cried but they have stopped completely now
Can you try and get some sleep during the day tomorrow? Xx

 

[ab75]

My pains stopped about day 4 beckii.
Bf does take it out of you. But I love it lol.
I'm still having little gushes but only when feeding.

Xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Glad its normal and I'm not alone. Madam was up most of the night but then slept 4 till 6:30 so I managed to sleep then. Do you think it could be because the bedroom isn't as warm as downstairs?

I will try get more sleep in the day today.

I've been trying to upload a photo for y'all to see but the tab just crashes.. X

 

[Carlyp1990]

I was told babies bf feed more at night due to your hormones.
Last night I was exhausted so fed at 8 then came to bed xx
